    Exclamation Getting Old Isnt For Wimps

    So paintball starts back next saturday.....

    The gang I typically play with is a charity group and all the refs and so forth are volunteers.

    They take the summer off since in June, July and August the temperature here gets pretty intense.

    So now my sciatic has been acting up for two weeks, got the tens unit hooked up right now.

    And to top it off I'm in the middle of moving (probably why the lower back is jacked up).

    I was just about to pack all my gear up but now I'm torn, can I make myself do the adult thing and pack it up and ignore the "we're back" email from the gang ?

    No paintball for 3 months makes having no paintball willpower tough.

    Then theres the back pain.....

    What say you AO ?

    Be an adult or play ?

    You guys ever read Scott Adams? I think in one of his books, he describes procrastination the act of screwing your future self over, because damnit, if the roles were reversed, that bastard would do the same thing to you.

    I think the maturation process in humans involves slowly shifting from making decisions that screw your future self over, to making decisions that benefit your future self.

    Of course some people never make that transition
    "Accuracy by aiming."


    Definitely not on the A-Team.

    You can always make excuses for whatever way you decide. You need to make a desicion that satisfies your real want and need. As long as you can justify it to your self and your family so that you feel good about your decision, all is good. Go forth and play paintball my friend.
    Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

    But I don't care to work in it or play in it.

    Summertime colds are hard to shake for some reason.
